Open position at the Advanced Light Source SAXS/WAXS beamline in Berkeley California:


Specific Responsibilities:
*             Lead the operation of SAXS-WAXS beamline.7.3.3 in support of the user program.
*             Lead the development of applications of SAXS-WAXS in a broad range of  materials science, in order to grow the program.
*             Develop new technical capabilities in x-ray scattering  in order to provide state of the art facilities for users.
*             Disseminate research results via publications in peer reviewed journals; present results via oral presentations at various meetings including conferences and peer reviews of projects.
*             Maintain current  knowledge  of  and implement  relevant  Laboratory,  Division, and  Program  Conduct  of Operations and Quality Assurance policies and procedures.
*             Where users have access to beamline equipment under your direction, familiarize them with operation, coordinate and schedule experiments, make sure that users are acquainted with ES&H regulations and abide by them, and give feedback to the ALS Users Office regarding publications and user satisfaction when required. Develop comprehensive documentation for user groups to maximize efficient use of the experimental station. Engage in collaborative research with user groups when appropriate.


Required Qualifications:
